SUBJECT: 9/22/2020 Board Meeting: Program $4,308,164 in Prop AA Vehicle Registration Fee Funds to Three Projects and Amend the 2017 Prop AA Strategic Plan

Information ☒ Action ☐ Fund Allocation RECOMMENDATION ☐ Program $4,308,164 in Prop AA Vehicle Registration Fee Funds to ☒ Fund Programming Three Projects: Policy/Legislation ☐ • San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s Plan/Study (SFMTA’s) Page Street Neighborway (Webster to Market) ☐ Capital Project ($262,636) ☐ Oversight/Delivery • SFMTA’s L Taraval Improvement Project (Segment B – Sunset Boulevard to West Portal) ($3,664,159) Budget/Finance ☐ • San Francisco Public Works’ (SFPW’s) Joyce Alley Lighting Contract/Agreement ☐ Improvements ($500,000) Other: ☐ Amend the 2017 Prop AA Strategic Plan. ______SUMMARY

On June 26, 2020, we released a call for projects for an estimated $4.24 million in Prop AA funds available. By the July 31, 2020 deadline we received four requests totaling $6,376,795. Attachment 1 lists the requests, including a brief description and supervisorial district(s) for each project. Attachment 2 contains our programming recommendations for the $4,308,164 available for projects, which includes additional funds recently de-obligated from a project completed under budget. We are recommending full funding for SFPW’s Joyce Alley Lighting Improvements which has limited funding options and SFMTA’s L Taraval Improvement projects which was the highest scoring project in the Transit Reliability and Mobility Improvements category. We recommend partial funding from Prop AA for the Page Street Neighborway which can be fully funded with available Prop K funds. We are not recommending funding for BART’s New Generation Pneumatic Barrier Style Accessible Fare Gates project in order to fund higher scoring projects. The proposed 2017 Strategic Plan amendment would incorporate the recommended projects into the relevant Prop AA 5-Year prioritized program of projects (5YPP) as shown in Attachment 3.

Page 1 of 4 Agenda Item 7 Page 2 of 4

BACKGROUND In November 2010, San Francisco voters approved Prop AA, authorizing the Transportation Authority to collect an additional $10 vehicle registration fee on motor vehicles registered in San Francisco to fund transportation improvements in the following three categories, with revenues split as indicated by the percentages: Street Repair and Reconstruction – 50%, Pedestrian Safety – 25%, and Transit Reliability and Mobility Improvements – 25%. Given its small size – less than $5 million in annual revenues, one of Prop AA’s guiding principles is to focus on small, high-impact projects that will provide tangible benefits to the public in the short-term. Thus, Prop AA only funds design and construction phases of projects and places a strong emphasis on timely use of funds. Correspondingly, Prop AA Strategic Plan policies allow for periodic calls for projects to reprogram cost savings or funds from programmed projects that failed to request funds in a timely manner. The Prop AA Expenditure Plan requires development of a Strategic Plan to guide the implementation of the program and specifies that the Strategic Plan include a 5YPP for each of the Expenditure Plan categories as a prerequisite for allocation of funds. The intent of the 5YPP requirement is to provide the Board, the public, and Prop AA project sponsors with a clear understanding of how projects are prioritized for funding.

DISCUSSION Call for Projects and Funds Available. In June 2020 we provided an update to the Board on available Prop AA funds, primarily due to the SFMTA ‘cancelling’ Phase 2 of the Muni Metro Station Enhancements project, freeing up $3,503,099 in Prop AA funds from the Transit Reliability and Mobility Improvement for other eligible projects. Phase 1 of this project, also funded with Prop AA funds, is experiencing significant delays due to difficulties coordinating with active rail operations at the platforms, inadequate documentation of existing “as-built” station conditions, and a slower than anticipated process for obtaining permits from BART to conduct the work. SFMTA has put Phase 2 on hold to make Prop AA transit funds available for higher priority projects that are ready-to-go during the current 2017 Prop AA Strategic Plan period. Additional available funds consist of de-obligated funds from projects completed under budget, higher than anticipated revenues, and interest earnings. The Board approved an amendment to the 2017 Prop AA Strategic Plan to update the fiscal year of programming for several delayed projects, however, the Board did not approve an amendment for SFMTA’s Bulb-outs at WalkFirst Locations project due to concerns over ongoing project delivery delays, resulting in $500,000 in funds in the Pedestrian Safety category being made available for reprogramming. As noted above, in June we issued a call for projects for approximately $4.24 million in Prop AA funds and by the July 31, 2020 deadline we had received four applications requesting $6,376,795 in Prop AA funds. Attachment 1 summarizes the applications received with additional detail in the enclosed (for projects recommended to receive funds) and attached (for project not recommended to receive funds) Project Information Forms. Agenda Item 7 Page 3 of 4

Subsequently, we were able to supplement the funds available with $63,280 de-obligated from SFMTA’s Webster Street Pedestrian Countdown Signals project, which was completed under budget. Table 1 below summarizes Prop AA funds available for this call for projects.

Table 1. Prop AA Funds Available for Projects

Initial Funds Available (from Canceled Projects, Projects $4,244,884 Unable to Meet Timely Use of Funds Requirements, Projects Completed Under Budget, and Interest Earnings) Additional Funds De-obligated from Project Completed $63,280 Under Budget Total Available for Projects $4,308,164

Project Evaluation Process. We developed the draft programming recommendation based upon project information submitted in response to the Prop AA call for projects, application of the Board-adopted prioritization criteria, and follow-up communications with sponsors to clarify and seek additional project information as needed. We first screened project submissions for eligibility and determined that all four projects were eligible for Prop AA funding. We then evaluated the projects using program-wide prioritization criteria such as project readiness, community support, and construction coordination opportunities, and category specific criteria such as whether projects seeking funds from the Pedestrian Safety category are located on the High Injury Network or directly improve access to transit, schools, and/or Communities of Concern. Draft Recommendations. Our recommendation is to fully fund two projects and partially fund one project, as summarized in Attachment 2. We are not recommending Prop AA funds for BART’s New Generation Pneumatic Barrier Style Accessible Fare Gates, which was the lowest scoring application in the Transit Reliability and Mobility Improvement category. The main factors contributing to the lower score as compared to the higher scoring L Taraval project, is it would not improve the speed or reliability of transit service, was not being actively coordinated with other construction projects, and would not address a documented safety issue. Also, the L Taraval project is ready to advertise in Fall 2020, while the BART Fare Gate project will not be ready to go to construction until late in FY 21/22. Prop AA Strategic Plan Amendment. The proposed Strategic Plan amendment would add the three projects recommended for funding to the 2017 Strategic Plan. Attachment 4 shows what the amended 2017 Prop AA Strategic Plan Programming and Allocations would look like if the proposed recommendations are approved. Pending Allocation Request for L Taraval Project. Given the urgency of the construction schedule for the L Taraval project, SFMTA has requested that the Transportation Authority consider allocating the recommended Prop AA funds to the L Taraval project at the same meeting as the Board approves the programming.

Brief Project Description for MyStreetSF (50 words BART seeks Prop AA funds to design, construct, install, and deploy New Generation Pneumatic Barrier Style max): Accessible Fare Gates (AFGs). The project will retrofit 20 AFGs located at San Francisco stations and the Daly City station. The new AFGs will increase access and connectivity for community members living, working, and/or visiting San Francisco. The project is part of BART's Station Accessibility Improvement Program, listed in FY 2019 Short Range Transit Plan/Capital Improvement Program.

Detailed Scope (may attach Word document): Please Please see Attachment A. describe the project scope, benefits, coordination with other projects in the area (e.g. paving, MuniForward, Vision Zero), and how the project would meet the Prop AA screening and prioritization criteria as well as other program goals (e.g., short-term project delivery to bring tangible benefits to the public quickly). Please describe how this project was prioritized. Please attach maps, drawings, photos of current conditions, etc. to support understanding of the project.

Describe Benefits to Communities of The project is expected to increase transit accessibility and connectivity for community members who live in a Concern and Disadvantaged Populations Community of Concern. Multiple BART stations, located in the City and County of San Francisco and in Daly City, are within the Community of Concern areas (per SFCTA's 2017 Supplemental Communities of Concern/ MTC's 2017 Communties of Concern Map). The project will also directly benefit disadvantaged populations and provides a fair geographic distribution of services. The New Generation Pneumatic Swing Style Barrier Accessible Fare Gates will benefit anyone who needs additional space and time to tag their Clipper card and pass through. These benefits are particularly important for people with disabilities and seniors. The Civic Center and Powell Street stations, for example, serve an area with 23% to 42% of people with disabilities. The new AFGs will be safer and provide a better customer experience. The customer experience will be improved as the advance sensor technology will recognize movements, including from animate objects like guide dogs, and provide adequate time to transition through the gate.

New Generation Pneumatic Swing Style Barrier Accessible Fare Gates The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) seeks Prop AA funds for New Generation Pneumatic Swing Style Barrier Accessible Fare Gates. This is a small but high impact project that will provide immediate tangible benefits to the public. The overall project scope is described below: Scope of Work The scope of work includes designing, constructing, and installing New Generation Pneumatic Swing Style Barrier Accessible Fare Gates (AFGs). These AFGs will be based on a design approved by the BART Board of Directors in September 2019. The new design, developed by BART engineers, removes dependency on a single vendor which offers BART more control over the installation schedule. The project will retrofit all existing AFGs located at BART stations in the City and County of San Francisco (CCSF) and at the Daly City Station, a total of 9 stations and 20 AFGs. The new AFGs will incorporate advanced sensor technology that will be operated by air pressure, utilizing fewer moving parts than the current motorized fare gate system. Project Location

July 2020 | 3 Impact The New AFGs in San Francisco and at the Daly City Station are expected to have significant impact, especially for community members with disabilities and those who need additional space when going through the gates, e.g., people traveling with strollers, walkers, pets, or luggage. These stations serve millions of community members from the region as they are located in a key regional area of employment. In 2019 alone, AFGs at the nine stations recorded 2,300,000 entries and 2,340,000 exits (based on annual ridership data). Given that San Francisco is a popular tourist location, many people using the stations are also tourists. Based on daily ridership data from FY18-19 and FY19-20, the average overall exit count, for all faregates, at the nine stations was as follows:

Station FY18 FY19 Embarcadero 47,887 48,569 Montgomery Street 45,541 45,842 Powell Street 26,629 25,980 UN Plaza/Civic Center 22,812 22,700 16th Street Mission 12,196 12,411 24th Street Mission 11,983 11,922 Glen Park 7,111 7,123 Balboa Park 9880 10,101 Daly City 9197 9,299

Prioritization In September 2019, the BART Board of Directors voted unanimously to adopt the New Pneumatic Swing Style Barrier fare gate design as the new standard for new fare gates. A variety of designs were considered and rated based on reliability, maintainability, throughput capacity, effectiveness against fare evasion, appearance, and ability to easily integrate with Clipper. This project is under BART's Station Accessibility Improvement Program and it is listed in BART's Fiscal Year 2019 Short Range Transit Plan/Capital Improvement Program (SRTP/CIP). The SRTP/CIP summarizes BART’s operating financial plan for the period FY19-FY28 and capital financial plan for the period FY19-FY33. BART’s operating and capital plans are driven by the BART Strategic Plan Framework. The Station Accessibility Improvement Program invests in projects to bring original BART facilities into compliance with current accessibility rules and to implement a program of investments to improve accessibility above what the Americans with Disabilities Act requires. Projects Include installation of new accessible faregates, improved accessible signage, and improved navigation systems for people who have vision impairments.

July 2020 | 4 Community Engagement and Support. On July 23, 2020, the Project team conducted a presentation for BART's Accessibility Task Force (BATF) to provide an overview, and obtain feedback, regarding the AFG deployed at BART's Richmond Station. The BATF advises the BART Board of Directors and staff on disability-related issues and advocates on behalf of people with disabilities and seniors to make the BART system accessible to and useable by people regardless of disability or age. BATF members provided very positive feedback regarding the new AFG. Mr. Roland Wong, an BATF member, stated that his "experience was positive and [he] had no problems entering and exiting the swing gates." He also stated that the "faregates did not make loud noises and were quiet." A copy of the presentation, and a copy of a test performed by Mr. Roland, are attached, see Attachment C and video file.

Maintenance Commitment Fare gates require recurrent maintenance to remain reliable and operational. BART's Maintenance and Engineering Department ensure AFGs are in optimum condition with its preventive maintenance practices. The AFGs undergo preventive maintenance every ten weeks. Corrective maintenance is also conducted when AFGs are underperforming. Currently, BART receives an average of 2,000 annual requests/tickets to address AFG performance. BART regularly deploys technicians to address corrective maintenance tasks and ensure fare gates perform at their optimum capacity. In order to minimize corrective maintenance, BART has been dedicating $120,000 to preventive maintenance tasks. The BART Maintenance and Engineering Department is committed to ensuring that the New Generation Accessible Swing Style Fare Gates perform at their optimum level. A Maintenance Assurance Commitment Letter is attached, See Attachment B.
